- A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

- one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

- the Washington Post effectively blew up its arts section today, dismissing its books, TV, music, and theater critics, features writers, and several editors. (I'm also guessing the vacant film critic position will stay that way.) Just an insane loss of talent and a huge self-inflicted wound.

- The little smirk he quickly hides after "for what?" tells you absolutely everything you need to know about everyone involved.
- Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
- This and also ... he could afford to enrage Trump, have Trump weaponize the government against all of his businesses, etc. -- and he'd still have so much more money than he could ever spend in 10 lifetimes.

- Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...
- This freak grifter is the worst
- I love that her argument that this was somehow replacing a women's restroom was just flat out false. This was a vacant space. If they didn't turn it into an all gender restroom, they'd have probably made it a Cinnabon

- The big tech founder whose 417-foot, $500 million superyacht needs a 256-foot, $75 million superyacht to "shadow" it -- because the bigger yacht lacks a helipad -- had to cut his paper's newsroom almost in half, for reasons
- NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...
- Former Washington Post writer @geneweingarten.bsky.social starts his Substack today with vitriol the "leaders" of the WAPO most assuredly deserve.

- In a sane world, the decision by Rufo, Vance, & co. to slander and slap a target on the traumatized, hardworking immigrants who revitalized a rust belt city -- and who *were invited* to that city -- would be a stain on their careers that they never live down. They should be reminded of it. Often.
- worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

- 1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy. 2. Don’t establish other revenue sources. 3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right. 4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls. 5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.
- Bannon wants ICE agents at polling locations. Pay attention to the men clawing the hardest to hold onto power. They are the child rapists and sex traffickers named in the Trumpstein files.

- Watching Ben Shapiro lose audience and influence has been fun, tbh. Unfortunately, the right-wing commentators who've risen up in his place have been absolute lunatics, but at least Ben is struggling
